  • Hellmuth can threaten to blow up a casino but if Martin acts weird and tilts the 'pros' everyone screams bloody murder
  • @bradjohnson8100
    A very odd individual but seems like a genuinely nice guy. He made some very legitimate points about people who are casually willing to destroy someone's reputation with zero 'factual' evidence. After this interview I am absolutely confident that he is NOT GUILTY.

    You know it’s a serious day when Doug puts on his sport coat.
  • @kalikrome1543
    Doug was the perfect interviewer for this very challenging situation, I'm really glad to hear Martin's side of the story because I don't think Martin will be doing many of these.
  • @-Prestoned-
    When you're naturally super annoying, people will take every opportunity to call you out on everything.
  • @the78thHesparian
    Well done Doug, you actually put your mouth where you mouth is. I'm being serious, i actually think highly of you for having Martin on and doing this.
  • @petea6904
    Respect for giving him chance to explain. I don't think he cheated, I think he's just wild player
  • @murdog7631
    This interview makes me like this dude , I seen all the media around him and hated him without knowing anything but the bullshit allegations. He won me over big time
  • @ILmachiner
    Martin really won me over as a person today. The idea he was marking cards is ridiculous. Ivey would have spotted it right away. Who marks cards at a table with the world's most notorious edge sorter! 😂
  • @gscgold
    Doug did a great thing in doing this video..well done
  • @anzplaya4042
    What a beast of an interview Doug, you really are killing it in the poker scene brother 🤙
  • @tuukkaylitalo3527
    Thanks for doing this interview. Martin has definitely been made the villain of the tournament poker community and nice to hear from the man himself. Also I find it funny that the biggest name callers are the ones I personally think are quite douchy themselves 😅. Hopefully we will see Martin at the tables on the future also!
  • @CDPVault
    Impressed with you for having Martin on and impressed he took the time to come on.
  • @dynamitenight8557
    His body language and disposition are indicative of someone who is being honest. He’s pissed and you can’t blame him. His antics make him polarizing and he does cross the line. However, the dude clearly gets an edge by tilting some people.
  • @infpLEO
    Imagine getting knocked out in a HIGH ROLLER TOURNAMENT..... And while almost crying calling your opponent a cheater..... Poor Form! Doyle Brunson is rolling !!!
  • @allenh5389
    Interviews in this setting that address annoying players and get said players to explain themselves are exactly what I watch for. Doug and Nit V. self admit to being annoying themselves are the perfect interviewers. I salute you for not backing down to get the answers. You are offering a very fair platform for allegations and people to defend allegations.
  • @AnaInTh3Sky
    Martin is actually a lovely guy. Played with him a bunch in the olden EPT Prague days. He has ALWAYS done the same things, always trolling, very OCD touching chips, counting, trying to unsettle you... but he's just having fun. It's actually disgusting what these guys have done... if you are not happy with something a player is doing, call the floor, it's that simple. These are experienced super-pros and they didn't even call the floor? Are we supposed to believe they KNOW he cheats and yet never have said anything about it and no one has any proof? It's embarrassing, Dan Smith was almost crying... they are acting like a b*tch
  • @userac-xpg
    It's no coincidence that the only player who didn't let Kabrel get under his skin won the tournament. These other so called "professionals " are a joke. I'm sick of every time someone plays different than gto, and they do well. They get accused of cheating. Kabrel should sue all these guys for slander.
  • @Torrnintwo
    This was the best thing to do in this situation to provide an even and fair platform. Keep it up.
  • @TheBigJankowski
    Martín handled himself well. He's weird. That's no crime
